Residue-level structure-guided engineering can enhance PFV transduction efficiency and helps define structural determinants of heparan sulfate recognition.
Quoted textsource-backed
These findings define the structural determinants of HS recognition in PFV Env and demonstrate that residue-level, structure-guided engineering can enhance PFV transduction efficiency.
Specific upper-domain PFV Env residues R298, R440, and E446 are essential for heparan sulfate-mediated attachment because alanine substitution abolishes infectivity.
